Balance exercises for chronically dizzy patients

Balance Exercises Help Dizzy Patients

Balance exercises are necessary for those individuals who struggle with dizziness. Often times people who experience dizziness also have their balance effected. The balance system in our brain that integrates information from our sensory system to maintain balance also is effected by input that causes dizziness. Recently, studies have been published (Kao C.-L., Chen L.-K., Chern C.-M., Hsu L.-C., Chen C.-C. and Hwang S.-J.) that shows how balance exercises can also improve balance for those who have dizziness.

Balance exercises For Chronic Dizziness

Rehabilitation outcome in home-based versus supervised exercise programs for chronically dizzy patients
We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of balance exercises, vestibular rehabilitation (VR) exercise, between supervised and home-based programs in young and senior age groups of patients with chronic dizziness. Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), Dynamic gait index (DGI), Tinetti fall risk performance scales and Timed " Up and Go" test (TUG) were administered to patients on their initial and follow-up visits for forty-one patients suffering from chronic dizziness. Twenty-eight patients received three 30-min vestibular training exercise, including balance exercises, sessions per week. Thirteen patients who could not visit our clinic on regular basis were instructed to do the same set of exercises at home, with the same duration and frequency. All scales were evaluated again on their follow-up visits 2 months later. Patients in both groups showed statistically significant improvement in DHI and Tinetti scales. A higher percentage of patients in the supervised-exercise-program (SP) group showed clinically significant outcome improvements. Age was not a predictive factor for rehabilitation outcome. We concluded that for all ages of chronically dizzy patients, 2 months of balance exercises can reduce handicap, improve balance function and a consequent improvement of life quality. Health care professionals need to be educated about the importance of balance exercises and rehabilitation program for treatment of chronic dizziness.
